Lynx Rise: Oh, that roleplay (sexy)
It’s an easy mistake to make. Us geeks sometimes tend to have only one thing on our minds. Lynx (who I think are Ax in the States) think their new Lynx Rise have a solution. The ad’s called “Lynx Rise Wake Up Calls #1 Roleplay”. This is a JavaScript player so to see the good […]
